This is not your normal shower head, Waters Therapy Shower will totally transform your daily showering ritual, the specialist cartridges infuse the softened water with additional vitamin C (to condition and soften skin), collagen (to help enhance skin’s elasticity) and aroma-therapeutic essences (citrus or lavender), to help restore emotional equilibrium. Tap water is traditionally treated with all manner of chemicals – including chlorine – which is not only ruinous for hair and skin, but can exacerbate conditions such as asthma, eczema and skin sensitivity. What’s more, This innovative shower head is also kinder for the environment as it helps you save water, and by removing impurities, there’s less likelihood of limescale accumulating in your shower (which means less time spent cleaning it!).

Softer water not only leaves locks looking lustrous and skin feeling soft, but also has far fewer chemical nasties which can compromise our health – which is why we’re all lathered up over Waters Therapy Shower; a detachable shower head which fits (almost) every standard fitting, to soften hard water and filter potentially harmful additives such as chlorine. What’s more, you can transform your shower into an aromatherapy steam room, if you choose one of the heavenly scented cartridges – ‘citrus’ is gorgeously fresh and zingy, to help you dive into the morning, while ‘lavender’ is perfect for helping you wind down whilst you wash the day away.

This shower head retails at £105 and you can buy it online at Cult Beauty with FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. It comes with 2 refill cartridges and you can choose between Citrus or Lavender.

Could this be the answer to the smoking ban in public recreational areas? Airdiem have come up with a solution for an argeeleh/narghile/shisha that uses actual minerals & food aromas to create vapor instead of actual smoke, mimicking the pleasurable effect smoking a narghile gives by using Armatherapy which is actually beneficial to the consumer. This is a much more expensive concept given the minerals and high end narghiles used, but do you think it could be a solution to luxury hotels & restaurants?

Beirut, Lebanon is known to be a very polluted city. With the chaos during the years of war, building regulations were not respected, not to mention whatever ‘green’ Lebanon was known for is being diminished by the day. Political greed lead to the environmental catastrophe Lebanese are now living in. It is time to raise awareness and come up with solutions to stop the wrong and try to introduce alternatives or some kind of “patchwork” to the existing mess. This is where Studioinvisible come in, they proposed a concept to help Beirut restore some of its ‘green’.

Given the circumstances, the most pragmatic solution will be to have a municipal decree that requires each building to grow it’s simple rooftop garden (by require we mean harshly implement, by force if necessary). Nothing fancy, just a couple of trees in a large fixed pot on each rooftop. As incentives to the urban population, the municipality can offer tax reductions or benefits to the buildings that have a well maintained rooftop garden, and the gardening/plant companies could offer discounts and sponsorship, and later claim that they turned Beirut green (we can already predict their campaigns).

There are many types of tree that can grow in the Beirut climate to 3-4 meters high in a simple 1 meter pot, such as the olive tree, the Schinum Molle, Morus Alba, Melia azaderachh, Punica Granatum, Etc… In order to prevent these trees from falling in case of high winds, they could be connected by three steel wires to the roof slab.

The advantages of having this done on a large scale are many. Better oxygen levels and a healthy environment is the first that comes to mind, but also a layer of trees will provide shade and accordingly soften the increasingly hot and arid climate, which in turn would lead to a lower level of energy consumption. Moreover, semi public green spaces will be created for the respective residents of each building, increasing even further the quality of living within the city itself. On the other hand, depending on the choice of trees and plants, these gardens can evolve into a sort of urban farming, yielding a small but valuable agricultural output.

Ultimately, If the plan works out, Beirut could become a rooftop wonder forest, the whole city as a Landmark: Beirutopia.

At a time when children are confined to a world of video games, indoor activities, and less resources for a natural environment, this amazing project comes up to make it up for the lucky students who will be attending this school. I don’t ever remember having gardens in our school, but our childhood was full of outdoor activities familiarizing us with the nature around us.

This is how Coca Cola turns an eco- friendly concept into a hip one. For the first time Coca Cola reveals a dining table full of sustainable features including a dinner service made from iconic Georgia green glass recyclable bottles, Emeco designed chairs, made from one hundred and eleven recycled plastic bottles , and in Coca Cola’s iconic red and white colors and hand-blown lighting fixtures also made from recyclable bottles. The installation was designed by the photographer Stefan Beckman.
